Please sign in to see pricing

High-output 40L/min air pump for powerful, continuous aeration of hydroponic reservoirs, DWC systems and multiple air stones.

The Charles Austen Enviro ET40 Air Pump delivers a substantial 40 litres of air per minute, making it a step up from smaller aquarium-style air pumps when you need to aerate larger reservoirs or supply several air stones from one central pump.

Designed to provide high airflow at low pressure, the ET40 is particularly well suited to hydroponic aeration. Connect it to a suitable air manifold and the output can be divided between multiple airline runs, allowing one pump to supply several air stones or diffusers around a growing system.

The ET40 combines a robust, compact and weatherproof housing with Charles Austen's energy-efficient Green Drive technology. It can be used for continuous-duty applications, making it a practical choice for DWC systems and nutrient reservoirs where reliable aeration is required around the clock.

Why choose the Enviro ET40 Air Pump?

40L/min airflow – high-output aeration for larger reservoirs and multi-air-stone installations.
Ideal for DWC – provides the continuous airflow required for actively aerated nutrient solutions.
Run multiple air stones – connect the ET40 to a suitable manifold to divide its output between several airline runs.
30W power consumption – efficient performance from Charles Austen's Green Drive motor technology.
Robust weatherproof housing – suitable for installation indoors or outdoors.
Continuous-duty capability – built for applications where dependable long-running aeration is important.

What is the Enviro ET40 suitable for?

The ET40 is particularly useful when a standard small air pump no longer provides enough airflow for the system. Its 40L/min output makes it suitable for larger hydroponic reservoirs, DWC and recirculating DWC systems, bubbler systems and installations using multiple air stones.

Rather than using a separate pump for every air stone, the ET40 can supply a compatible manifold. The manifold divides the incoming air into individual outlets, with airline then carrying the air to separate diffusers around the system.

This approach makes the ET40 a practical central air supply for larger grow rooms and multi-pot systems where reliable aeration needs to be distributed across several points.

How to use the Charles Austen ET40

Position the ET40 in a stable, well-ventilated location and connect its air outlet to suitable air distribution equipment. The pump has a 14mm connection and is supplied with an elbow connector for straightforward installation.

For multi-air-stone hydroponic systems, connect the main pump outlet to a compatible air manifold. Individual lengths of airline can then be run from the manifold outlets to air stones or diffusers positioned within the nutrient reservoir or individual DWC pots.

Keep airline runs as direct as practical and avoid kinks or restrictions that could reduce airflow. Where several diffusers are being operated together, distributing the air evenly helps maintain consistent aeration throughout the system.

Charles Austen recommends servicing Enviro pumps at least every 18 months. ET-series service kits are available to replace the appropriate service components and help keep the pump performing reliably.

Unlike the smaller ACO-96 series pumps with individual outlets built into the casing, the ACO-9820 has a high-output main connection and is supplied with a 10-way manifold. This divides the pump's airflow between multiple airline runs, making it straightforward to operate a bank of air stones from one pump.

Hailea's Super Silent design combines double damping, noise absorption and anti-vibration features to reduce operating noise. The oil-free diaphragm system provides clean compressed air, making the ACO-9820 particularly well suited to hydroponic nutrient aeration.

Why choose the Hailea ACO-9820 Air Pump?

60L/min maximum airflow – delivers up to 3,600 litres of air per hour for demanding aeration applications.
10-way manifold supplied – distribute airflow between multiple air stones from one central pump.
Ideal for larger DWC and RDWC systems – provides the air capacity needed for multi-pot hydroponic installations.
Low-noise design – double damping and noise absorption help keep operating noise below 40dB.
Oil-free diaphragm operation – supplies clean compressed air without oil in the air path.
35W power consumption – efficient output for a pump capable of delivering 60L/min.

High-output aeration for DWC, RDWC and nutrient reservoirs

The ACO-9820 is designed for systems where several aeration points need to operate from one powerful central air pump. Its 60L/min output makes it particularly useful for larger DWC and recirculating DWC installations, commercial propagation systems and sizeable nutrient reservoirs.

The supplied 10-way manifold allows the total pump output to be divided between multiple airline runs. Individual lines can then feed separate air stones positioned in DWC pots or at different points around a reservoir.

Airflow is shared between the connected outlets rather than 60L/min being delivered through every outlet. The actual airflow reaching each air stone will also depend on factors such as airline length, water depth and the resistance created by the diffuser.

How to use the Hailea ACO-9820

Position the ACO-9820 on a firm, stable surface above the water level of the reservoir. Connect the supplied manifold to the main pump outlet, then connect the required lengths of compatible airline to the manifold.

Attach suitable air stones or diffusers to the opposite ends of the airline and position them in the nutrient solution. Keeping airline runs reasonably direct and free from kinks helps minimise unnecessary resistance and maintain good airflow.

The 60L/min rating is the pump's total maximum airflow. When using the 10-way manifold, this air supply is distributed between the outlets being used. The number and type of air stones, depth of nutrient solution and resistance through the system will determine how that airflow is divided in practice.

Periodically inspect the pump, manifold, airline and air stones. Diffusers that become blocked with deposits can increase resistance and reduce effective airflow, so regular cleaning or replacement helps maintain consistent aeration.

Please sign in to see pricing

High-output 30L/min air pump supplied with a 6-way manifold for powerful, reliable aeration across DWC systems, nutrient reservoirs and multiple air stones.

The Hailea ACO-9810 is a high-output diaphragm air pump designed for hydroponic systems that need considerably more aeration than a standard multi-outlet aquarium-style pump. Delivering up to 30 litres of air per minute, equivalent to 1,800 litres per hour, it provides a strong central air supply for larger reservoirs and multi-pot growing systems.

The ACO-9810 is supplied with a 6-way manifold, allowing its main air supply to be divided between several separate airline runs. This makes it particularly useful for DWC and RDWC systems where multiple pots or air stones need to be aerated from a single pump.

Hailea uses a double air chamber, oil-free diaphragm system together with vibration and sound-reducing features. The result is substantial airflow and pressure while maintaining a rated operating noise level below 40dB.

Why choose the Hailea ACO-9810 Air Pump?

30L/min maximum airflow – delivers up to 1,800 litres of air per hour for demanding hydroponic aeration.
6-way manifold supplied – distribute the pump's output between multiple airline runs and air stones.
Ideal for DWC and RDWC – well suited to larger reservoirs and multi-pot hydroponic systems.
Strong air pressure – rated above 0.025MPa for driving air through submerged diffusers.
Low-noise design – double damping and vibration reduction help keep operating noise below 40dB.
Oil-free operation – provides clean compressed air without oil lubrication in the air path.
25W power consumption – efficient operation for a pump delivering up to 30L/min.

High-output aeration for DWC, RDWC and nutrient reservoirs

The ACO-9810 is a strong choice when one central air pump needs to supply several aeration points. The supplied 6-way manifold allows separate airline runs to feed individual DWC pots, air stones or diffusers positioned throughout a larger nutrient reservoir.

Its 30L/min capacity also makes it useful for applications where smaller multi-outlet pumps do not provide enough airflow. Alongside hydroponic nutrient aeration, it can be used for propagation systems and other horticultural setups requiring a dependable continuous air supply.

The 30L/min rating is the maximum total airflow from the pump. When several manifold outlets are used, this airflow is shared between the connected lines rather than each outlet independently producing 30L/min.

How to use the Hailea ACO-9810

Place the pump on a firm, stable surface above the water level of your reservoir. Connect the supplied manifold to the main pump outlet using the connecting hose, then attach compatible airline to the manifold outlets you intend to use.

Connect suitable air stones or diffusers to the opposite ends of the airline and position them in the nutrient solution. Keep airline runs as direct as practical and avoid sharp bends or kinks that could restrict airflow.

Airflow from the pump is divided between the connected manifold outlets. Airline length, water depth and the resistance created by individual air stones will all influence the amount of air reaching each diffuser.

Inspect the manifold, airline and air stones periodically. Mineral deposits and other blockages in an air stone can increase resistance and reduce aeration, so cleaning or replacing restricted diffusers will help maintain consistent performance.

The ACO-2206 works particularly well in hydroponic systems where several air stones need to operate at the same time. Its four outlets can be connected to separate airline runs, allowing individual diffusers to be positioned in separate DWC pots or at different points within a nutrient reservoir.

Because the outlets are built directly into the pump, there is no need to add a separate four-way manifold. This keeps smaller aeration setups simple and reduces the number of connections between the pump and air stones.

The pump provides up to 10L/min in total, shared across its four outlets. Actual airflow at each air stone will vary according to airline length, water depth and the resistance created by the diffuser.

How to use the Hailea ACO-2206

Place the pump on a stable, dry surface above the water level of the reservoir. Connect compatible 4mm airline to the required outlets, then fit a suitable air stone or diffuser to the opposite end of each line.

Position the air stones in the nutrient solution and switch the pump on. For a four-pot DWC setup, one outlet can be used for each pot, providing a simple way to aerate the whole system from a single pump.

Keep airline runs reasonably short and avoid sharp bends or kinks that can restrict airflow. If the pump needs to sit below water level, fit suitable non-return valves to help prevent water travelling back towards the pump when it is switched off.

Air stones naturally become more restrictive as deposits build up, so inspect and clean or replace them periodically to maintain good airflow throughout the system.
